To be fair the light level controls were only useful to me after the retrofit.

I was told it was for when the car was heavy and you needed to angle the lights up a bit more. However, on the highest setting even when the car was empty the lights were just barley at the appropriate height. Any setting lower than the highest was too low and visibility was bleh.

So I purposely aimed my projectors high so I could actually use the 6 settings.

Interesting. That, to me, doesn't sound like it would be a very useful feature for 99% of the time then for those without projectors.

I can definitely see why they didn't give it to Americans, as it would add to the cost and we would never use it! Though it could be considered the "lazy-man's" way to change the light level, so that certainly has America written all over it.
